Top Gear fd video??

I have several Top gear mpegs. On them, I've seen tests on cars such as the Mclaren F1, Acura NSX, Nissan Skyline, Porche GT3, Farrari's, Lamborghini diablo's,etc. Does anyone know if there is a Top gear review of the 3rd Gen. RX7? If so, Where can I find it? I would love tohear what they say about it! Thanks!

wow..great reply JoeD.

Yes, they did do a review, I remember reading about it, or they refered to it in one of the other videos or something. I don't remember how I know they did one..but I know they did...I just have never seen it on the net.

he was asking specifically about a video of the review, and if there was one on the FD. and i know for a fact that the FD review in mpeg form does not exist. trust me, i have searched, and have probably searched a lot harder than anyone on this forum.

there was a magazine review on the FD. one was a full road/track test in issue 5, and another was in a comparison among other sports cars in issue 28 (bet you didnt know that, huh martini ). i have the issue of Top Gear when they did their "Top 100" test, and the FD came in at #21 (in the short paragraph in which they describe the cars, they didnt really say anything about the FD other than the fact that they thought it was one of the best looking they had ever seen).

so tell me martini...how did your post answer overkill's question better than mine did.

Cause the word 'review' in one shape, form, or another is still a lot more informative than a tactful 'no' .

Are you referring to the TV show 'Top Gear' from BBC in England. If so, they did review the FD, which I saw quite a while ago. It was blue and the had nothing bad to say about it.

Hope that helps.
Probably not, but hey.
See ya's

Is that was he was specifically asking? Are you sure?

A one word answer does nothing to answer his question. "no" they didn't review it, or "no" you don't know where to find it, or just "no"? Your post was worthless, and you should know it.

would it have been so difficult to say "No, I've looked high and low, and haven't seen any FD reviews by Top Gear in video form."? THAT would've been useful (at the very least, more useful than "no").

Reread his question.
